Yeah, that's the thing. Siddle is too high at 8 but everyone can bat . Lyon is a good #10 at worst (could be pushing decent #9 status) and he's batting 11, Starc's at 10 and averages 23 in First Class cricket and Pattinson bats in the middle order at club level.I love how people say this the worst tail without even seeing how these guys can bat. Lyon top scored in the 47ao didn't he? No bunnies at all in this tail.
Pull your head in mate, you've been OTT all day.Pattinson for a 50 on debut anyone?
4 decent to poor 9s isn't the worst tail ever to play cricket, obviously a long way off what Australia has been used to.Yeah, that's the thing. Siddle is too high at 8 but everyone can bat .

Siddle at 8 says it allI love how people say this the worst tail without even seeing how these guys can bat. Lyon top scored in the 47ao didn't he? No bunnies at all in this tail.
2nd Test vs SL, I remember Lyon coming in and sweeping everything for four. Was brilliant.I love how people say this the worst tail without even seeing how these guys can bat. Lyon top scored in the 47ao didn't he? No bunnies at all in this tail.
Wth? Pattinson has looked damn good so far. Sorry for being a realist.Pull your head in mate, you've been OTT all day.
Which one of my comments is OTT?Man I hate Haddin.
Being a realist would be saying "Pattinson has looked pretty good so far". But all day you've been harping on about Australia as if Clarke was Bradman reincarnate and Haddin a better version of Gilchrist. It's just really dire to read so many OTT posts in a day by a decent Kiwi bloke.Wth? Pattinson has looked damn good so far. Sorry for being a realist.
Johnson is a bit of a shocker in defense really. Quality attacking bat though.Pattinson looks more solid than Johnson in defense truth be told
You must not have been watching NZ cricket for very long.
